CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/380,954, filed on Aug. 29, 2016, which is hereby incorporated by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure relates to the cannabis industry. In particular, this disclosure relates to water soluble cannabinoid formulations, including methods for creating said water soluble cannabinoid formulations.

BACKGROUND

The word “Cannabis” refers to a genus of flowering plants. Plants of genus Cannabis include several species, including Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis. There is a long history of cultivating plants of genus Cannabis for hemp fibers, seeds and seed oils, medicinal purposes, and recreational activities.

According to some accounts, Cannabis is composed of at least 483 known chemical compounds, which include cannabinoids, terpenoids, flavonoids, nitrogenous compounds, amino acids, proteins, glycoproteins, enzymes, sugars and related compounds, hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids, fatty acids, esters, lactones, steroids, terpenes, non-cannabinoid phenols, vitamins, and pigments.

Cannabinoids are of particular interest for research and commercialization. Most extractions of Cannabis plant matter aim to extract cannabinoids, particularly tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is useful for relieving pain, treating glaucoma, and relieving nausea. THC is also gaining immense popularity as a recreational drug substance. Usually, cannabinoids are extracted from the Cannabis plant as part of a crude mixture, combined with other chemical compounds found in the Cannabis plant.

Current methods of administration cannabinoids fail to take full advantage of cannabinoid properties. For example, burning plant matter and inhaling the vapor does not allow for selection of certain cannabinoids for their certain desired benefit. One can choose a plant with certain known properties, e.g., THC content, but there is still little to no control over selecting individual cannabinoids. Inhaling smoke also leads to many harmful and toxic compounds introduced into the body.

There exists a need for new cannabinoid formulations. In particular, there exists a need for water soluble cannabinoid formulations. Additionally, there exists a need for methods for producing aqueous cannabinoid formulations. Furthermore, there exists a need for making formulations with increased permeability into the bloodstream. Also, there also exists a need for Cannabis formulations which provide increased bioavailability of cannabinoids.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Disclosed herein are new cannabinoid formulations, including water soluble cannabinoid formulations. In one embodiment, the formulations disclosed herein are used for creating other new formulations. In one embodiment, the formulations disclosed herein are soluble in other liquids, e.g., aqueous liquids such as juices, soft drinks, wine, cocktails, medicinal preations, coffee, tea, etc.

Disclosed herein are methods of making formulations with increased permeability into the bloodstream. Also disclosed herein are Cannabis formulations, which provide increased bioavailability of cannabinoids.

Disclosed herein is a new composition comprising a first purified cannabinoid and Vitamin E TPGS.

As used herein, the term “purified” means extracted, isolated, and/or separated from other compounds, formulations, compositions, matter, and/or mass. In one embodiment, the term “purified” refers to a cannabinoid that is separated from the plant matter from which it was derived.

In one embodiment, the term “purified” refers to a cannabinoid (a “purified cannabinoid”) that is separated from other cannabinoids that were present in the plant matter from which it was derived. In one embodiment, the term “purified” refers to a cannabinoid (a “purified cannabinoid”) that is separated from terpenes that were present in the plant matter from which it was derived. In one embodiment, the term “purified” refers to a cannabinoid (a “purified cannabinoid”) that is separated from secondary compounds that were present in the plant matter from which it was derived. In one embodiment, the term “purified” refers to a cannabinoid (a “purified cannabinoid”) that is separated from all material that was present in the plant matter from which it was derived.

In one embodiment, the term “purified” refers to a terpene (a “purified terpene”) that is separated from other cannabinoids that were present in the plant matter from which it was derived. In one embodiment, the term “purified” refers to a terpene (a “purified terpene”) that is separated from terpenes that were present in the plant matter from which it was derived.

In one embodiment, the term “purified” refers to a terpene (a “purified terpene”) that is separated from all material that was present in the plant matter from which it was derived.

Within the context of this disclosure, purified compounds may be purposely formulated with other compounds at various levels of purity. For example, depending on the desired outcome, a particular cannabinoid and/or terpene may be formulated with other molecules when it is 60-65% pure, 65-70% pure, 70-75% pure, 75-80% pure, 80-85% pure, 85-90% pure, 90-95% pure, 95-99% pure, 99-99.9% pure, 99.9+%, or greater than 99% pure.

In one embodiment, the cannabinoid affects the activity of other compounds at one or more receptors by acting as an agonist, partial agonist, inverse agonist, antagonist, etc.

In many cases, a cannabinoid can be identified because its chemical name will include the text string “*cannabi* in the name.

The mixture was heated to 80 degrees Celsius. After the mixture reached 80 degrees Celsius, water was added while stirring until the mixture turned into a viscous, amorphous mass. The beaker was removed from the hot plate and the mixture allowed to cool to room temperature while stirring resulting in an aqueous solution.

Example 20

THCA, CBC, THC, CBN, CBD, CBG, CBGA, and CBDA were purified, via chromatography, from a plant of genus Cannabis, resulting in a clear, slightly yellow oil. The oil weighed 5.00 grams.

In a separate container 20.0 g of Vitamin E TPGS was measured. The cannabinoid oil was combined with Vitamin E TPGS in a heat proof beaker and placed on a hot plate. The mixture was heated to 80 degrees Celsius. After the mixture reached 80 degrees Celsius, water was added while stirring until the mixture turned into a viscous, amorphous mass. The beaker was removed from the hot plate and the mixture allowed to cool to room temperature while stirring resulting in an aqueous solution.

 10. A method of making a liquid composition having one or more purified cannabinoids and one or more purified terpenes, comprising: separating one or more purified cannabinoids and one or more purified terpenes from a Cannabisplant material; adding the one or more purified cannabinoids and the one or more purified terpenes to Vitamin E TPGS to create a mixture of Vitamin E TPGS and the one or more purified cannabinoids and one or more purified terpenes; heating said mixture to a first temperature; adding water to the mixture to create an aqueous formulation comprising the mixture of Vitamin E TPGS and the one or more purified cannabinoids and one or more terpenes; and cooling the aqueous formulation to a second temperature.
 11. The method of claim 10, comprising: sonicating the aqueous formulation comprising the mixture of Vitamin E TPGS and the one or more purified cannabinoids and one or more terpenes to create micelles; freezing the aqueous formulation comprising the mixture of Vitamin E TPGS and the one or more purified cannabinoids and one or more terpenes; lowering pressure of the aqueous formulation comprising the mixture of Vitamin E TPGS and the one or more purified cannabinoids and one or more terpenes; removing water from the aqueous formulation comprising the mixture of Vitamin E TPGS and the one or more purified cannabinoids and one or more terpenes to create a dry powder; and adding water to the dry powder to create a liquid cannabinoid composition comprising Vitamin E TPGS and the one or more purified cannabinoids and one or more terpenes.
 12. (canceled)
 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the dry powder comprises reverse micelles.
 14. The method of claim 11, wherein the first temperature is between 70-90 degrees Celsius; and wherein the second temperature is between 0-50 degrees Celsius.
 15. The liquid composition of claim 1, wherein the one or more purified cannabinoids is THCA, CBC, THC, CBN, CBD, CBG, CBGA, CBDA, or a combination thereof.
 16. The liquid composition of claim 1, wherein the one or more purified cannabinoids is CBD, THC, THCV, or a combination thereof.
